Winning Time? Which Franchise will win their first title next? Featuring Dan Favale
There are still 10 franchises who've yet to hold the Larry O'Brien aloft in NBA history. Listen in as Jack Quantrill (@TheDropStep_NBA) and Dan Favale (@danfavale) go through each team yet to win an NBA championship and rank them by how likely we think they are to break that duck. Can Mat Ishbia and Steve Balmer drive their respective franchises to glory whilst bankrupting themselves in the process? Which one of Paolo Banchero, Ja Morant, Ant Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton is ready to put their name in the history books? Can pick rich teams like the Nets, Jazz and Hornets speed up the rebuild and launch themselves into championship contention?
